#and then they made a movie

[woollenpharaohs]

“What the heart is full of, the mouth overflows. Stephen Dewaele of Soulwax is quick to talk anyway, but when it comes to DVDs, he shifts up a few gears. From 'The West Wing' to 'The Cremaster Cycle' to 'Triumph The Insult Comic Dog' – 'Sometimes I sitand watch and just think: What the fuck!'

I HAVE FOUR DVD PLAYERS: one in my laptop, one in my living room, one in my bedroom, and one in my bathroom. I wake up with it and I go to sleep with it – I usually watch it at night, after my daily news feed on BBC World, Nederland 3 and Canvas. I don't have much time, but I can easily get four or five DVDs a week. Sometimes it's more, sometimes it's less – it all depends on exactly where I am, and how busy I am. Series at the moment: The Sopranos are a poison, because they are insanely addictive. 'One more and then I'll go to sleep…' 'Another one to unlearn…' And before I know it, it's seven hours later and I have to get up again. With The West WingI had that very bad, almost sickly. Incredibly fascinating to see how American politics works – and it seems to be fairly truthful too, because the screenwriter was an intern at the White House under Bill Clinton. Oh, and do you know Arrested Development ? You should absolutely check that! It's about a filthy rich family in America and the humor is somewhat reminiscent of Curb Your Enthusiasm – also an incredible recommendation, by the way.

NO IDEA HOW MANY DVDs I HAVE EXACTLY, but I'm estimating a thousand or so. According to my girlfriend I'm a freak in the making - luckily it's not as bad as with records, but during our last tour I still bought 50 DVDs. In most I now also know exactly where I need to be in major cities. I'm going to New York For example, always go to a shop that specializes in weird stuff that you can't find anywhere. There I buy things like The Cremaster Cycle by Matthew Barney or bootlegs by Kraftwerk. Tokyo is also a great city to buy DVDs because you'll find a lot of things there that they don't have the rights to in Europe yet. Gainsbourg movies à la Cannabis or Le Pacha – I even bought a double DVD of Claude François once. That really annoys me with DVDs: all that hassle with those region codes and such. Isn't that of this time anymore? The entertainment industry really treats people like idiots. "All buy DVDs in your own region well" My DVD players are all multi-region – cracked by an acquaintance. Am I hurting someone with that? Oh no? Fortunately, we will be rid of that in a few years, because then everyone will be able to download their films. That can't happen fast enough for me – unlimited supply, minimal fee, everything directly on a memory card. 

ON TOUR I ALWAYS MAKE A SELECTION FOR THE OTHERS. The last thing I showed was Triumph The Insult Comic Dog – a Late Night hand puppet with Conan O'Brien, extremely crude but implausibly funny. And everyone was also deeply impressed by Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy and Comandante, Oliver Stone's documentary about Fidel Castro. I don't put porn in such a selection, no, we have our own specialist on tour for that. But I usually find it incredibly boring – during Sexecutioners, a film we recently bought at the Reperbahn, I fell asleep during the first blowjob. (laughs) What I can recommend to everyone is the Criterion label. They release old movies on double DVDs with an incredible amount of extras – recently I bought The Man Who Fell To Earth with David Bowie. I buy almost everything from Criterion blindly, and some things I really wait for. For example, they urgently need to release a performance by Nicolas Roeg: Mick Jagger has a part and Ry Cooder wrote the soundtrack – I wrote my thesis about it at school at the time. 

IF I HAVE ONE GUILTY PLEASURE, it's: DVDs from bad eighties bands, Tears For Fears and all that. A few months ago Tiga gave me Silver Blue Lining, a documentary about Duran Duran's heydays. The ego of those guys, who think they're on top of the world: fe-no-me-nal, ten times funnier than Some Kind Of Monster by Metallica. You're looking at that, and you're like, 'What the fuck? That simply does not exist!” – but it all really happens. Anyway, I watch a lot of music DVDs, even good ones. Recently: No Direction Home by Martin Scorsese, about Bob Dylan, and It's All Gone, Pete Tong, a kind of Spinal Tap about corporate DJs. Less interesting for people who have never been to Ibiza, perhaps, but very recognizable. I also find The Directors Series very impressive, with those DVDs from video clip directors. The first I had three volumes for a while – Spike Jonze, Michel Gondry and Chris Cunningham – and recently bought the collected clips of Anton Corbijn and Mark Romanek. What He Did To Hurtby Johnny Cash! That's no longer a clip, that's just… art. We ourselves have been brooding on a DVD for a while, I urgently need to discuss this with the record company. We have tons of footage just begging to be released – you'll be hearing from [rest of article cannot be accessed].”

MOBY BARBIE??? IN MY BARBIE MOVIE????

[scorbunny]

matthew lillard doing the iconic ghostface knife wipe like that HAD to be intentional

[iwasbored777]

Can we talk about John Cena in the Barbie movie for a bit?

[joycrispy]

Zepotha will never be Goncharov because when it comes down to it, tumblr culture is collaborative, while tiktok culture is merely iterative, and those are not the same thing.

part of my nimona viewing experience. idk why but i got super emotional in the first five minutes.

ID by @peachygos

[ID: A comic juxtaposing screenshots from Nimona 2023 and drawings of a person watching the movie. The first screenshot is Ambrosius's introduction; he grins at the camera as the news anchors introduce him, his name in big print on the screen. The person watching thinks with a bored expression, "Ah. Ok. This guy is gonna be the jackass. Typical golden-boy stuck-up prince that thinks he's better than the underdog. I see where this is going.

The next screenshot is of Ambrosius and Ballister on the platform above the arena, Ambrosius doing his news anchor bit and saying, "Aaand will Ballister be broody on the biggest day of his life?" Ballister laughs at his antics. The person watching now has a small smile, as they think, "Huh! Aw, they're actually nice to each other and are friends! I wasn't expecting that, that's nice-"

The third and final screenshot is a shot from behind of Ballister leaning his head on Ambrosius's shoulder. The caption reads "the knighting ceremony is just moments away." The person watching now has a touched, soft expression, like they're holding back tears. They think "OH." as a partially transparent doodle behind them bends over crying and blubbering, with another doodle showing their heart shot through with an arrow. /end ID]

me and my friend watched the fnaf movie the way you’re SUPPOSED to

There are many benefits to being Barbie's cousin

My Ko-fi

Edit: Guys I know her last name is Roberts. This is an AU and also a Barbie Tickets meme it’s not that deep

[ispyspookymansion]

its really wild how many movies and tv shows are just like, obscenely skinny. how many casts are representative of the average population, if you sampled a crowd in a normal store or on a train? how many actually “average” bodies do you see on screen? how often are the stomachs shown flat or concave, how often are the thighs all muscle no fat, how often are the jawlines and cheekbones totally sharp and not covered by even a hint of softness? its bizarre and offputting whenever you start looking at media with that in mind

[chloesimaginationthings]

Matpat was the only jumpscare in the FNAF movie

[finleycannotdraw]

I don’t have the capacity to be coherent right now but. this movie is so good

[egophiliac]

IT WAS ERIC AFTER ALL!!!! I'm so glad we got to meet him (before Vil snaps him away with those Infinity Gauntlets) (can't wait to see what happens when we get the matching Infinity Tiara to go with them, there will be no survivors)

(sorry to be so slow/rough lately, just got a lot of stuff on the ol' brain at the moment! alas, if only I could spend all my time drawing incredibly stupid characters I mean I do but)

[currentlyonstandbi]

i dont care what kind of lore they're coming up with for that zepotha film or whatever the fuck over on tiktok, nothing will ever come close to the fact goncharov was spawned entirely from a label on a boot
